Bigbug is a 2022 French science fiction black comedy film written and directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

[1] It stars Elsa Zylberstein, Isabelle Nanty, Youssef Hajdi, Alban Lenoir and François Levantal.

Leo watches a clip of a TV show called Homo Ridiculus, in which 'Yonyx' cyborgs walk humans like dogs, before his father makes him turn it off.

Max shows interest in Alice's artistic hobbies and her antique book collection, apparently a rarity in 2045.

The air conditioning in the house cannot be activated (as it requires central authorization, and Alice has not updated the passcodes) and the building is becoming increasingly hot.

Initially deactivated by Françoise, he is reactivated and partially repaired by the house robots, who want him to teach them seduction.

Victor's plan initially succeeds, and Nestor agrees to open the doors, but as the humans try to leave, they are confronted by a Yonyx responding to Jennifer's message.

Alice, Monique, and Howard trick the Yonyx into destroying its own retinal sensors, but it can still see the humans using thermal imaging.

With the temperature rising to unbearable levels, the Yonyx agrees to turn on the air conditioning in return for the humans participating in an episode of Homo Ridiculus in which they must behave like circus animals.

Jennifer, who is exempt due to her collaboration, nevertheless participates enthusiastically and the Yonyx reactivates the A/C, but sadistically turns it down to a freezing temperature during the night.

"[6]The film was interpreted by several critics as a political satire, mocking COVID-19 lockdowns and humanity's increasing dependence on technology involved AI boom.

[7] Armond White of National Review wrote that the film is "about mankind trapped in its own hubris",[8] which was "the first great satire of the Covid-era lockdown and Big Tech enslavement.

The website's critics consensus states, "Jeunet fans will find the whimsy they seek within BigBug, although it isn't enough to make this mishmash more than intermittently engaging.
